After falling behind in the series in ignominious style in Perth, the Aussies have bounced back convincingly. Despite the sheer brilliance of Jasprit Bumrah, they won two of the following three games and may have already claimed a first Border–Gavaskar Trophy victory in a decade but for the rain in Brisbane.

The fears that India would be underripe for this tour have come to fruition, with captain Rohit Sharma perhaps most guilty of looking sorely out of sorts. But if his men can raise themselves to pull off a win in the New Year’s Test in Sydney, it will mean a fifth straight defence and still an outside chance of a spot in the World Test Championship final.

All you need to know about Australia vs India

What is the Australia vs India 5th Test venue?

The fifth Australia vs India Test is taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in New South Wales — better known as the SCG.

The historic 48,000-capacity ground first hosted Test cricket 142 years ago and, in more recent years, has regularly hosted the first Test of the year (or the New Year’s Test, as it has become known).

India have only ever recorded one Test victory at the SCG — that was way back in 1978 — and the Aussies haven’t lost a red ball game here in 13 years. But the tourists will want to channel the memories of their match here in 2004, when a double century from the legendary Sachin Tendulkar helped his team to a record setting first innings total of 705/7.
